Kotak has lower debt to equity ratio (<5.00x) than other 3 (>6.5x), which means they are using higher proportion of their own funds (which has no interest cost associated with it). Another metric to check can be Interest spread, (Interest yield-Cost of funds, ignores effects of leverage)
I do not know if there is difference in customer segments, haven’t studied the business in detail.

Garware Hi-tech films (Earlier Garware polyester) (18-08-2024)
First of all, great observation!!!
But I have one counter arguments:-
If the company purchased a piece of land for ₹100 cr, then it means it spent only ₹100 cr to use that piece of land, and hence, whatever profits it earns in next 20 years, or 50 years, it should be valued on the basis of ₹100 cr only, not the ₹1500 cr, because the difference ₹1400 was never spent. And whenever it decides to sell the land for, say ₹1500 cr at CMP, the ₹1400 cr will come as profit automatically.
